First-In Cart


Our First-In Cart is a Bambu Lab 3D Printer station located by the front desk of EPIC 101.

Please review our policies and complete our Quiz to print.

Policies

  • 100% score on the training quiz is required to access the printers
  • Swipe in (or enter BU ID No.) at the FIC PC kiosk
  • Make sure the printer screen says “Print Complete” before removing the plate
  • No printing of weapons or accessories for weapons
  • No changing filament spools, please see EPIC staff
  • Do not try to clear any errors, please see EPIC staff
  • No loading of your own personal micro-SD cards, send prints from the FIC PC kiosks *you can setup your project at home and download it from your Google Drive, the software is available here https://bambulab.com/en-us/download/studio
  • This is a First-In Cart, which means the first person to come into EPIC and access the kiosk has access to the printer. We are currently not restricting print time or number of printers you can use at once. At this time there are 6 printers and 2 kiosks, please do not print to all of the printers if someone is at the other kiosk.
  • Parts that fail will not be reprinted for you by staff, they will be placed in the bag you labelled by either the next person at the kiosk or EPIC staff. If one object on the plate has failed and we are unable to skip it we may cancel the print.
  • If you come in to print your part at the FIC this is separate from our print Request Portal, please do not request prints in the Portal and print them at the First-In cart or they will print twice.

Quiz for Swipe Access

Note: Since the training video was filmed we added risers to the lid so you may close the front doors on the printers and we have upgraded our printers to the BambuLab X1C model.

You will be asked to log into your BU Account to take this quiz.

Email epic3d@bu.edu if you require assistance.
